The Third Person and Scotch Tape

She has a high tolerance for chaos and ambiguity and can heat sugar at a high temperature without letting it scorch.

She makes crafts and, conducts plays, holding together the whole thing with scotch tape. She's supple and endlessly patient even during the longest, most sluggish afternoons.

The trouble is, she is the third person. The third person casts a shadow over the first.

The first person gets beyond frustrated with the limits of scotch tape, gets weary with endless plays that have to end jaggedly because there is no more will to sit through them and she frets and sighs loudly over how the crafts gum up the grooves of the table.
